Uncle’s New Year’s Revolution 2020

January 7, 2020 – 3:07 pm

From UncleThePodcast.com

Uncle returns for his second annual live New Year’s Eve special broadcast. This four hour extravaganza took place as the New Year struck each time zone across the continental US. Chuck Ochelli was able to make it to the show as producer just in the nick of time thanks to donations that came in from supporters to replace his old computer that had broken down only a week before. Uncle explained what we learned about 2019. Some good friends of the show called in to let us know what they doing on New Year’s Eve. Robin from Victoria, Bear the Double Rainbow Guy, Penpal Ed, JG Michael, and Pearse Redmond all joined us and brought the party atmosphere to higher and higher levels as the night went on. If you weren’t able to listen or watch the show live, do be sure to go back and watch it later at your convenience. It will stay posted to YouTube, Ochelli.com, and on the Uncle (the podcast) feed. Join the Revolution!

PPR Bonus Podcast episode 35 The end of the year with Aaron Franz

December 30, 2019 – 2:21 pm

Aaron Franz joined me this month for the last episode of 2019. This is a shorter show but we cover a lot of ground. Aaron and I discussed our thoughts and opinions on 2019. Aaron also plugged Uncle’s annual New Years Revolution live show. We touched on topics as varied as the Tokyo 2020 Olympics and the anime classic Akira, Elon Musk’s diabolical Cyber Truck, Amazon’s plan for world domination, and what’s in store for the futuristic decade of 2020.

And in spite of my best efforts I stuck with tradition and released this well after we recorded it. Have a happy and safe New Years!

Porkins Policy Radio episode 170 JP Sottile and Robbie Martin on 2020 Dems, Trumps future, and neocon Tulsi Gabbard

January 23, 2019 – 1:19 pm

JP Sottile joined me in the first hour to discuss the current political climate and the soon approaching 2020 Presidential election. We talked about the possibility of Trump not running in 2020 and the potential Republicans that might take his place. JP floated the idea of both John Kasich and Nikki Haley running. Later we talked about the seemingly endless list of Democrats lining up to take the nomination. JP and I touch on Kamala Harris, Beto O’Rourke, Mitch Landrieu, John Hickenlooper, Julian Castro, Kirsten Gillibrand, and Joe Biden. We discussed the multitude of political problems with these potential candidates, and the shift within the Democratic party. JP also touched on the rise of figures like Ocasio Cortez who may represent the first real step towards true democratic-socialism. We also discussed what the true role of William Barr will be while acting Attorney General and the decline of the Trump wing of the GOP.

In the second hour Robbie Martin joined me to break down one 2020 presidential hopeful, Tulsi Gabbard. Robbie explained how Gabbard is wrongly being trotted out as the anti-war/ anti-interventionist candidate in 2020. Robbie talked about Gabbard’s support of torture and her neoconservative views on terrorism and the War on Terror. We touched on her anti-Muslim Hindu nationalist rhetoric and how that contributes to her hawkish views. Robbie and I also talked about the response from the left which has been to praise Gabbard as some sort of peace loving dove who will stop all the foreign wars. We also touched on the recent moves by the US to overthrow Maduro in Venezuela. Robbie and I talked about Venezuela being a true litmus test for anti-imperialists. We end by talking about Gabbard’s bizarre views on gay rights and what supposedly made her a defender of the LGBTQ community.
